Donna Keehn

About Me

While I believe theoretical frameworks are useful, much more significant is the relationship that develops between me and my client. My therapeutic style is dynamic, directive, intuitive, and there are also moments with my clients where laughter can be the best mental health "medicine."

I work with my clients in a strengths-based environment conducive to self awareness and self growth. Prior to becoming a licensed psychotherapist, I spent several years in the corporate world as an employee, a manager, and an executive manager for companies that include IBM, Trammell Crow, and New Balance Athletic Shoe Co. With this experience, I am able to deeply understand how our mental health and well-being can be affected by our work and, affect our work.

I'm also a partner in a long-term relationship as well as a mom so the complexities of being in both of these roles are greatly appreciated by me, both directly and indirectly.

Written by K.A. on May 15, 2019 after counseling with Donna for 4 years on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, and depression

Where do I even begin about Donna? First of all she's two fold - She is a licensed therapist, well versed in overcoming trauma, dealing with anxiety and improving relationships. She is ALSO a career coach with decades of experience managing large teams and delegating tasks.

She is extremely empathetic while remaining a voice of rationality and level headedness. She is SO extremely kind and respectful, but don't assume she won't also immediately call you out on risky behavior or unhealthy routines - because at the end of the day Donna takes no shit.

As someone who deals with depression and anxiety who has recently started their own business, Donna has been a miracle in my life. Her work has transformed my approach to my job, my daily routine, and my relationship of 2 years. I can't imagine where my life would be at this point without her, and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Gratitude doesn't cover it, I can't recommend her enough to anyone going through a hard time in either their careers or their relationships. OR just someone who could use a new perspective on things.

Written by J.U. on Nov 15, 2018 after counseling with Donna for 2 years and 8 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and depression

Donna is always very thoughtful in her replies. She offers great articles and exercises. She's super supportive and has been a great resource. I've made more progress working with her, mostly via video and writing, than I ever did in my many years of more traditional, in-person talk therapy. I like that she uses a variety of methods and techniques, rather than sticking to only one approach (e.g. CBD, psychoanalysis, etc).

Donna has been very helpful in speaking to me about my issues. She's kind, warm and easy to talk to. I love that she recommends articles to read that pertain to what we are talking about, and gives me something to think about before we speak again.

Written by L.E. on Jul 05, 2018 after counseling with Donna for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, self esteem, anger, and career

Seeking therapy is probably the best decision I've made this year, and I am very lucky to have Donna as my counselor. She has been very supportive and has been helping me categorize and modify different sets of behaviors and thought patterns.

Written by V.A. on Nov 13, 2017 after counseling with Donna for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related, and self esteem

Donna has helped me get through the most trying times of my life. She was very present to me and constantly supportive and encouraging, helping me to change my perspectives and view things differently. This has helped my relationships, especially my relationship with myself. I have learned so much from her, and I have grown significantly in this time together. I will always be indebted to her for what she has done for me. Thank you, Donna!

Donna has helped me understand myself and has helped me find actionable ways to improve my life. She's made opening up about everything so easy for me, and her expertise is invaluable. She is both intensely forward and compassionate simultaneously.

Written by S.H. on Nov 01, 2017 after counseling with Donna for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship, family, grief, self esteem, and anger

Donna helped me to get through the darkest and most devastating period of my life. I was paralyzed by fear and uncertainty in every way because my life had been turned upside down . When I began sessions with Donna it was difficult to get out of bed and I slept more than ever before because sleep had become my way of escaping from what my life had become. I wore the same clothing for days and I couldn’t go leave my house even for the short time it would take to check my mail. I saw an ad for Better Help and I was desperate, I knew that I needed counseling but I couldn’t leave the house. Being matched with Donna was a blessing, she helped me to see that my life was worth living. Our journey together gave me the guidance to find my way to a better place than I had been before tragedy struck when I was certain that only death would free me from my pain, I’m eternally grateful for such a sincere and caring counselor. Donna, you’re the best!

Donna is an extremely talented counselor. Working with her has changed my life.

Written by H.A. on Aug 30, 2017 after counseling with Donna for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, career, and depression

I have been working with Donna long enough now to recognize the positive changes in myself and couldn't say enough about this form of therapy and how much it has helped me. I recommend it to my friends and anyone who thinks they may need to talk to someone. It has offered me a place to "spill my guts" so to speak and not feel judged or misguided. It's like journaling in it's truest form, but the journal actually responds and helps you.

Thank you, Donna :)

Donna is my saviour! She is the best therapist I have ever worked with. She is very result-oriented, great with listening, has actionable steps to actually make my life better. Also, Donna is very thorough and she has a knack for for counseling. She is also very passionate about her work and follows up regularly and gives me exercises that actually make a difference. I can go on with more praise for her. But, you get the idea!

Written by C.H. on Jun 13, 2017 after counseling with Donna for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship

I really like the examples that Donna gives me so that I might be able to relate to how and why others as well as myself make certain decisions or take certain actions. I like having the logical, emotional and clinical way of thinking about the way things work.

Written by B.. on May 01, 2017 after counseling with Donna for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, and eating

My experience until now (only 3 sessions) is that Donna is very pleasant to work with and easy to connect with. She is very flexible when it comes to adjusting the therapy. She has a sense of patient's readiness and nudges the right amount. We haven't fixed me yet, but we're moving along :).

Written by B.R on Apr 25, 2017 after counseling with Donna for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, relationship, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related, eating, and bipolar

I have been with Donna for a couple months and I am so very pleased. I had a "on-the-couch" therapist in-person for 5 years and we made some progress, however, the work Donna and I have done in a couple short months has been transformative and soul-shaking. She knows very well when to listen and when to coach and push me out of my comfort zone. She's compassionate, funny, and I look forward to our weekly meetings.

Donna is an exceptional therapist! She takes the time to understand you and what the underlying issues are and works with great care and diligence to follow up on your progress and also, gives me assignments and is a great listener. Since she has experience with working in the technology field for a long time, she and I have an incredible frequency match! I will follow up with a more detailed review!

Donna is a very caring and skilled therapist. She gently leads you to where you need to go without any shaming. I was pleasantly surprised that when I started therapy during a weekend, when I was having a family crisis, she got back to me the same day. She is a gem. 5+ stars.

Written by P.A on Nov 24, 2016 after counseling with Donna for 3 weeks on issues concerning addictions, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related

Wise, compassionate, understanding and not the least bit judgmental. I feel totally safe with her and trust that she knows how to help me.

Donna has truly been an amazing therapist. I took a break from our correspondence for a number of weeks while I moved on to apply the strengths fostered under her care, in various areas of my life. When new challenges inevitably arose from this journey, I turned back to Donna and she immediately provided the support and insight I very much needed. I greatly appreciate her attention to detail and feel that she truly has a "big picture" perspective of my life. I started off this week feeling on the verge of a breakdown and am finishing it with a breakthrough: I feel gratitude, I trust my own strength, and I am empowered to calmly attend to my needs without giving in to harmful impulses. Donna absolutely makes a powerful difference in my life!

Written by L.A on Oct 28, 2016 after counseling with Donna for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and parenting

Having Donna as a therapist is like having a great friend - but one that HAS to listen and be encouraging when you drone on about all of life's trials and tribulations. She is funny, warm, and insightful but is not afraid to call you out on your false assumptions and nudge you in another direction. So glad I found her!

Donna is a good therapist. She doesn't force anything on you and makes good suggestions.

Written by A.N on Sep 27, 2016 after counseling with Donna for 1 month on issues concerning addictions, lgbt, relationship, intimacy-related, and sleeping

To open a heart is a marvelous thing, and to see inside is amazing. Donna is more than a counselor, you see, she has heart with the things she is saying. So few times do we know how hidden are we, away from the world as we see it. Donna can help open your eyes and what it is you want, you will be it.

I was so lucky to have been paired with Donna Keehn. She has helped me so much to see the real truth and she makes me think and work on me. Thank you for your help.

Written by V.A on Aug 30, 2016 after counseling with Donna for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship, intimacy-related, and self esteem

Donna is an incredibly skilled therapist and a lovely person. We hit it off immediately as she is extremely intuitive and open - she made me feel comfortable, understood, and supported right off the bat. She's not afraid to give real opinions from her professional and expert perspective, which is exactly what I wanted. I wasn't just looking for someone to let me blab on and on with no insights coming back at me. Donna has helped me tremendously in a very short time and I look forward to the work we've set out to do together in the days to come.

Written by T.I on Aug 26, 2016 after counseling with Donna for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related, and self esteem

Donna has been absolutely wonderful and has been an amazing person to unwind to. Her responses are very helpful and in the short time I've known her, I feel like I trust her completely. Thank you!

BetterHelp matched me with Donna Keehn based on the answers. Their method worked beautifully because Donna has proven to be the perfect match for me. She has a way of cutting through the emotional rhetoric and focusing on helping me use my head to find the right solution. Donna helps me stay away from rehearsing the hurts of my past which cannot be undone or changed and keeping me in the present.

She has given me assignments that are geared at keeping the focus for healing placed on me, which is great because I can't change a thing about anyone other than myself. I've worked with her for nearly a month and by following her directives and doing as she's guided me to, I've made a lot of progress during that time. My 20-minute phone session with Donna was more effective than 50-minute in-person office sessions with other therapists. I am very pleased with Donna Keehn and I highly recommend her.
